A Smoked Salmon Cake is The Perfect Brunch Appetizer

Don't knock it until you've tried it.

When you think of a cake, some sort of baked good with frosting generally comes to mind. But we've found a cake made out of smoked salmon, and before you cringe in disgust, just hear us out — it's seriously the perfect brunch appetizer.

We'll admit, it's a little strange, but it's actually a pretty elegant way to arrange your bagel/crostini toppers (not that you couldn't just eat it straight with a fork). i, Food Blogger layered smoked salmon, chopped onions, white potatoes, boiled egg, carrots, mayo, and beets in a springform cake pan, and then removed it from the pan and placed it on a serving platter for a perfectly composite savory cake. It's the perfect solution to get all those complimentary flavors in one bite, or make sure they all fit together on top of your carb of choice (self assembly doesn't always go so well). For extra pretty, garnish it with a rose made out of smoked salmon.

Sure, it might be slightly out of the box, but don't knock it until you've tried it!
